Introduction
Are you tired of wrestling with complex calculations involving feet and inches? Fear not! Our Feet-Inch-Sixteenth (FIS) calculator is here to rescue you from the mathematical maze. In this guide, we’ll explore the incredible features of our calculator and demonstrate how to perform various operations with ease.
How to Use the Calculator
Our FIS calculator is designed to handle a variety of input formats, including:
- Regular decimals (e.g., 2.5)
- Fractions & divisions (e.g., 1/4, 1/32)
- Integers along with fractions (e.g., 1+3/8, 2+4/2)
- Multiplication (e.g., 3*4)
- Subtraction (e.g., 4-1)
- Addition (e.g., 5+8)
Simply input your values, ensuring to enter ‘0’ if there are no feet or inches in your measurement.
Calculation Options
Our calculator offers four result options:
- Add Feet and Inches: Provides calculated feet, inches, and fractional inches.
- Subtract Feet and Inches: Outputs calculated feet, inches, and fractional inches.
- Multiply Feet and Inches: Displays results in both square feet and square inches.
- Divide Feet and Inches: Results are unitless; identical units cancel out in the division (e.g., ft/ft = 1).
Practical Example: Area Calculation
You can utilize our calculator as a square footage calculator. For instance, estimating the area of a dog kennel involves converting feet and inches to inches:
- Convert 2 feet 6 inches and 1 foot 5 inches to inches: 2 ft 6 in = 30 in, 1 ft 5 in = 17 in.
- Multiply converted values: 30 in * 17 in = 510 in².
Adding Feet and Inches
Adding feet and inches is straightforward:
- Example: 2 ft 3 in + 5 ft 6 in.
- Add feet: 2 + 5 = 7 ft.
- Add inches: 3 + 6 = 9 in.
- Combine: 7 ft 9 in.
Adding Inches with Fractions
Adding feet and inches with fractions requires additional steps:
- Example: 2 ft 10 1/4 in + 1 ft 2 9/16 in.
- Add feet: 2 + 1 = 3 ft.
- Add inches: 10 + 2 = 12 in.
- Add fractions: 1/4 + 9/16 = 13/16 in.
- Combine: 3 ft 12 in + 13/16 in.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
